Age 39 years, 4 months (25 Points)
Qualification - Bachelors of Commerce_ Honours (3 years degree) - 15 Points
Experience - Assumption, 6 years will be subtracted from 14 years experience (April 2004 - Till Date May 2018 minus two months of Break). 1st June 2018, I will get 15 points.
PTE A- Current score is 10 but will get 20.
So total score comes 75 for 189 and 80 for 190.
What are the chances of getting PR invite before 30 December 2018 (will become 40 years on 30 the December 2018) if I get:
ACS evaluation by 5 June 2018 and EOI filed with 75 and 80.
EOI is filed in June 2018 with 75 points and 80 points (six months left before 40)
ACS application date was 5th April 2018 so expecting positive results by 5th June 2018.
What options are there post 40 years to regain 10 points by Australian experience and Masters degree plus what is regional studies, one year of professional program.
Can you please guide me based on scenario one - my application and chances of PR
Scenario two - post 40 years.

Can someone please guide me if my application to ACS for skills assessment through RPL method for my Bachelors degree of Commerce (Honours - 3 years) is correct as job code is ICT BA.
I think it depends on job code where VETASSES assesses the degree because in case of ICT BA it should be ACS who will assess the RPL, experience, SD, roles and responsibilities letter from employers.
Please guide me urgently so that I can check with ACS as Case officer didn't raise concern and moved to assessment officer and it is almost FOUR weeks now since I submitted my application to ACS.
Also please advise, if I log EOI with 75 by when shall I get PR invite as further it takes 5-6 months in Medical report, PCC to issue PR letter.
Thanks and Regards

Should I wait for ACS to come back and recommend to get my degree evaluated from VETASSES or I should contact VETASSES directly and asking them if they will evaluate degree. I already have a Bachelors degree three years full-time from India with first class and transcript done by US agency.
When I contacted consultants in India they told me that ACS will evaluate all Bachelors degree for ICT BA so not required to check with VETASSES
Please, can someone who knows or dealt with Bachelors of Commerce Honours degree from India who has got evaluation write their viewpoints.
Thanks and Regards
Alok Kumar
